The Day I Kissed An Older Man – Chapter 71

Chapter 71

As soon as Corinne heard someone calling her, she stopped walking and turned around.

A handsome boy chased after her, trying to catch his breath. He was a third-year student.

Corinne asked curiously, “What’s the matter, Chester? Is there something you need from me?”

The shy boy rubbed the back of his head awkwardly and smiled sincerely. “Congratulations on your successful graduation!”

Corinne smiled. “Thanks.”

Chester wanted to say something else but noticed the imposing man beside her and asked, “Umm… Who is he?”

“An uncle of mine!” Corinne answered without hesitation.

Jeremy was speechless to hear that.

As soon as Chester was told that Jeremy was one of Corinne’s elders, he immediately bowed politely. “Nice to meet you, sir!”

Jeremy narrowed his eyes coldly and ignored Chester’s greeting.

Chester did not seem bothered by Jeremy’s presence and said to Corinne with a slight blush, “I have something to talk to you about in private, Corinne. Will that be alright?”

Corinne nodded. “Wait here for me, Uncle!” she said, then followed Chester to a more secluded place to chat.

The two of them stood by the window in the corridor and talked. Chester then pulled off the second jacket button midway through the conversation and handed it to Corinne. She took it, looked at it, and smiled.

Jeremy cocked an eyebrow when he saw that.

Tommy, who had always been adept at understanding unspoken expressions, immediately said, “Sir, in some comics, the second button of a person’s clothes symbolizes something close to the heart. That boy is probably giving his heart to Corinne.”

Jeremy narrowed his eyes, appalled that she decided to accept something with such a meaning.

He vaguely remembered Corinne remarking that she liked well-behaved, obedient pretty boys who would call her ‘mommy’. He wondered if this boy was exactly that sort.

Jeremy’s lip twitched, and he asked, “Do all students experience puppy love?”

Tommy replied awkwardly, “Umm… Sir, university students are already adults. It’s not considered puppy love.”

Jeremy lit a cigarette and watched the two chatting not far away. They were at an age where they were just beginning to discover love and relationships. Even the tiniest of actions was enough to make them blush.

Corinne stretched out her hand and touched the boy’s head. Though there was no way to understand what she was saying, the smile on her face was obvious. Her height was barely the same as the boy, yet she patted his head like an elder sister.

Jeremy took a deep puff of his cigarette, exhaled, and stubbed out the remaining half before throwing it into the trash can.

He said nothing even after they got in the car, and Corinne did not take the initiative to talk to him either. She merely lowered her head and fiddled with her phone to answer Aaron’s messages.

The car was just about to leave the campus when Francine suddenly appeared and stopped them. She opened the car door, got in, and said with a smile, “Jeremy! Corinne! Can I get a ride home too?”

Jeremy looked up and stared coldly at her. “Are you planning on skipping your classes?”

Francine cowered. “What? No! I just don’t have any class this afternoon…”

Jeremy ignored her and raised his chin to signal for his driver to drive.

Francine sat next to Corinne in a rare show of cordialness. “I never knew you were a student here at the University of New Capital City! Why haven’t I seen you in school before?”

Corinne looked at Francine’s stark change in attitude and smiled. “I wasn’t at school much because I was busy with my senior year internship.”

“I see!”
